**** Elections thread *****

Surely if the Dems campaign for the removal of the agency that enforces immigration laws, they are committing electorial suicide? That can only appeal to the hard left.

They can't win with it in the short run, but in the long run maybe they can. They may be trying to indoctrinate Latinos and make a permanent voting bloc that gives them Florida and eventually Texas. There are several problems with this strategy, but the Dems probably don't see the problems and instead think they can achieve as much success here as they have with blacks.

that is most definitely what they are doing.

The democrats have NOTHING to offer the middle class. They win based on two things:

1) Economic policies that benefit the lower class
2) Divisive identity politics that make republicans seem toxic, regardless of how sensible their policies might be

Immigration expands #1, and #2 expands immigration.
